[hobbit] Hobbit client OS support (was: OSF physical memory ...)
by Al.Jeffcoat＠orhs.org 08 Aug '05

Hello Henrik, I know that you had said that you were not working on a windows client. What I don't recall is seeing anywhere if the BB clients will continue working with the new version of Hobbit, for platforms that are not on the list below. That's the only thing holding me from moving up to the new code. I'll probably update tomorrow anyway, and I'll confirm for you about the AIX platform when I get the chance. Thanks again for all your hard work. Al -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2005 5:23 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Hobbit client OS support (was: OSF physical memory ..) Ok, thanks to David and Anton the Hobbit client should now support OSF/1 4.x and 5.x fully. The problem Anton reported with the format of the uptime output was already fixed in my code, since I had the same problem from a Linux box resulting in 1 hour where the load graph wasn't being updated. So I think Hobbit is in pretty good shape when it comes to support for various Unix systems. The client should work with AIX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OSF/1, Solaris and Darwin/Mac OS X. If anyone feels I've left out their favourite Unix platform, let me know - with a bit of help from You, I'm sure we can get it working. I've tested the *BSD, Linux and Solaris clients myself. Bob Gordon kindly helped with the Darwin support, which should be working now (except for the netstat data, will do that tomorrow). If someone could confirm that AIX, HP-UX and OSF/1 work (with whatever version of those you have), it would be nice. You'll need to use the latest snapshot of Hobbit from http://www.hswn.dk/beta/, and it's a good idea to make sure you use the latest client version if you've installed the 4.1.1 version.

RRDTool 1.2.11
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

All, I know that there were some previous issues with rrdtool 1.2.11 but I don't recall if they were resolved in the future releases of hobbit. Can anyone say for sure that the compatibility issues have either been resolved or not? Thanks, Robert

[hobbit] new client (for me) exceeds data msg size
by David.Gore＠mci.com 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

hobbit.hobbitd Latest errormessages: Oversize data msg from x.x.x.x truncated (n=108728, limit 102400) I saw references to this on the list and changing it at compile time, but I could not figure out how to do that. With the output of a '/usr/ucb/ps wwaux' and a large number of java processes combined with a half-dozen ext scripts, I suppose the new client is exceeding this limit. It is certainly truncating the data causing running processes to appear down. Help? -- David

Blue alert address on info page
by allan＠zandahar.net 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

I have an email address that is coming up on the info page for a host that is coming up in a blue color, and is also listed twice. sslcert customer at there.com (S) - - 1d - purple,yellow,red ourpager at ourdomain.com (R) - - 15m - purple,red The first one comes up from an explicit rule I have for the customers host that will notify them if thier ssl certificate is about to expire, this alert line also has a STOP param on it so it doesnt go any further The second one I think is coming up from a host=* entry I have at the very end to match anything that isnt explicitly defined further up the file If I do the hobbit alert test thing (its wicked now that henrik added some bits for me, cheers again) and it only matches the first one and simulates sending one email and thats it. Am I going insane or does the blue color mean that its excluded in some sort of strange way Cheers Allan

Building hobbit 4.1.4 ~/client/Makefile should not execute "chown" when PKGBUILD is defined.
by anton.burkhalter＠gmx.net 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi, It should be possible to use a make install without executing "chown" and "chgrp". This is implemented in ~/hobbitd/Makefile but not in ~/client/Makefile ifndef PKGBUILD chown $(BBUSER) .... chgrp `$(IDTOOL) ... endif I build standard packages on Solaris (pkgadd) and Tru64 (setld). It would be great if this can be made with a non-privileged account. Best regards, Tony

bb-hosts Duplicate Entrys...
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hello - I have several hosts duplicated in several subpages. I have figured out how to show only specific tests in a group, however I would like another of the groups to show all tests *except* for a specific list.... I have gone through the man page for bb-hosts and I may have missed it but...... Any ideas or is this even possible? I am currently running 4.03rc1 Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--

Link in dynamic page
by xgreif＠gmail.com 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi all, Here at work we need to put a link in some of the pages to call a script that will check a service status according to some parameters. I guess it would be similar to the "Client data available" link that appears on the new client pages for memory, cpu, etc., but with more parameters. How can I make this link appear? I can't find the man pages for the hobbitsvc.cgi anywhere. Regards, Greif
